Chapter 1220: Bloody Killing Fields (Part I)
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom......" Felix shook his stunned head, he couldn't remember how many times it was shelled by the Allies on the other side.
From fear to complete habituation, Felix only took a week. During the week, he went from an ordinary private to a company commander. And his original company commander became a regiment commander.
The remaining platoon commanders and squad leaders were all killed in battle. The squad leader died in front of Felix, who was beaten into a sieve by the Soviets' machine guns. The piece of the chest was completely broken.
Pink guts, and black and red blood sprayed all over the ground. Without leaving a last word, Felix was directly beaten into a pile of rotten meat. Then, Felix became the squad leader.
On the second line of positions, Felix's platoon commander was hit by a shell that was not known whether it was the Soviets or the Americans. The people were blown up on the spot, and all that was left was a pair of legs with bone, slag and rotten flesh.
Fortunately, I can still recover these rotten legs, and at least there is a mutilated corpse. In this regard, the platoon commander's salary is higher than that of the squad leader. They stayed in the second-line positions for less than two days before they were forced to retreat to the third-line positions.
Their regimental commander was killed, so the company commander became the acting regimental commander. Because the other company commanders were either killed or crippled. Unable to command operations.
Felix took a bite of the cold hard bread as if nothing had happened in the fire, and then cursed the damned Soviets for putting sawdust in the bread.
These were supplies captured from the Soviets, and Felix was quite happy at first. Anyway, some bread can be eaten, as for vodka. Felix is not good at this.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that the bread he was expecting was stuffed with sawdust. Felix at this moment, even wondered if these were one of the weapons that the Soviets used specifically to kill themselves.
Felix really wronged the Soviets, and now the Soviets, from Kalinin, Stalin to the soldiers below, eat this bread stuffed with sawdust.
It's actually good to have this to eat. Having just been freed from the harsh civil war and famine, he was plunged into war with Germany.
The Soviet Union did not have much food reserves in the first place, and the long period of fighting on the ground resulted in the fact that the small reserves of food were almost exhausted. On the one hand, China supports these grains. On the other hand, it is supported by the United States, Britain and other allies.
As a last resort, the Soviets had no choice but to develop a way of baking bread with sawdust in the big Lebarise. Anyway, this fills your stomach, doesn't it?! The bread on the front line is fine, and the wood chips are mixed with relatively little.
The sawdust in the rear is called a terrible one. A piece of bread is mixed with at least more than 50% wood chips. When you bite into the whole bread, it's like you're eating sand.
The bread was fine, only mixed with 30% wood chips. This was the reason why the Supreme Council of the Soviets agreed to do this, taking into account the need for combat at the front.
"Elias, don't be afraid. War is like that, a moment the Soviets come up and don't shoot indiscriminately. Wait for my command. Felix smiled and patted the private beside him, who was constantly shivering.
"Fight two battles at most, and you'll get used to the ...... of this battlefield," Felix added in his mind, provided you survived......
The soldier, Elias, nodded gratefully, and then left the emporium with the others. The investigators outside the cave are almost all dead.
Several German soldiers looked expressionless and lifted down the two observer hands, who were constantly wailing and losing their legs. Elias and the others quickly filled the position.
Machine guns were erected, and mortars were put into position. At the same time, a large number of anti-tank mines were sent to the positions.
The current way of attacking the Allies is familiar to the Germans. First there was an artillery bombardment of saturated surnames, followed by the cover of the infantry charge by the armored group.
The Panzers would break through the German positions, and when they crushed them, it was time for the infantry to attack. The armored units would tear apart and divide the German positions, and then the infantry would be responsible for clearing the German soldiers from the positions.
......At this time, the roar of the crawlers crushing the ground was clearly audible. Felix sighed, reluctantly put down the loaf of bread, took his gun and left the bomb hole.
The smoke outside the position has gradually dissipated, and it is faintly visible that tanks are slowly driving towards the position. The tanks formed an attack formation, constantly moving in the direction of the position.
"Damn Soviets, can't they just change their way of fighting......" Felix grunted, then waved his hand.
The German soldiers who had planted anti-tank mines in front of the position quickly retreated, and the tanks that kept moving towards the position began shelling.
"Tom tom tom...... Boom Boom Boom ......" The tank, after the brakes stopped, began to fire shells at the position. The two sides did not fight once or twice, and the Germans became familiar with the Allied way of fighting.
And the Allies were not familiar with the German defenses?! A fierce bombardment detonated most of the anti-tank mines in front of the position, and only then did the tanks slowly start and continue to march towards the position.
Both sides have become accustomed to, or rather numb, to this way of fighting. The Soviet tanks were partially blown up in front of the position, and the soldiers who followed began to set up machine-gun positions to suppress the German positions.
"Turbulence...... The Germans, of course, were not going to sit idly by, and they began to fire back at the Soviet troops. Tongues of fire from machine guns began to erupt from various firing points, dusting the area where the Soviet soldiers were sitting.
And then anti-tank rockets began to be fired at Soviet tanks.
"Whoosh...... Boom, boom, boom, boom and boom......" An explosion sounded over the position, and several hit tanks burst into flames in the smoke. The roof of the tank was blown into the air, and screams and burning soldiers jumped out of the tank and were swept down by machine guns.
The tanks accelerated violently, trying to storm the German positions before they were destroyed.
"Have you finished planting the mines?! Withdraw when you are buried!! Felix shouted loudly, and the soldiers who had planted anti-tank mines in the position immediately responded loudly.
Felix kept his face calm and ordered the troops to retreat immediately. At this time, it is not a good choice to fight hard, and the Soviets' tanks are not something that they can easily deal with as infantry.
What a pity! The "Iron Fist" was issued too little, otherwise it would have been able to deal with the tank units of the Soviets......
The Iron Fist is the shelf launcher that the Germans revised according to the design drawings provided by Tu Mengben. The Americans, who also got the blueprints, called this weapon "Bazooka" after modification.
It is a pity that the Germans have already equipped such weapons to the front-line troops. And the actions of the US military are slightly slower, and until now this weapon is not fully equipped.
Only a small number of troops were equipped, and some were even captured by the Germans.
"Kerala ...... Rumble!! "A Soviet tank finally ran over the German position, but he was greeted by a violent explosion. The entire tank was immediately blown over, and the tracks were blown off and flew away.
The Soviet infantry, who followed behind, was hit by the broken tracks of the flying fire and fell miserably to the ground.
"Boom, ......boom, boom" explosions sounded one after another, although anti-tank mines would not normally explode because people stepped on them.
But there are exceptions to everything, as a later teacher once told his students that anti-tank mines do not explode when people step on them, and even demonstrated them himself.
As a result, he and the students around him were all gone.
The Soviets did not want to prove that the Germans would not be able to step on anti-tank mines, but they did step on some of them.
In the flesh and blood of the Soviet army, the German army has retreated into the second-line position. And use the weapon in his hand to start carrying out a counterattack.
"Kerala ......" And at this time, the armored forces of the German army finally arrived on the battlefield. In order to avoid tank losses under artillery fire, the Germans did not place tanks at the front line.
Instead, they wait for orders in the rear, and when a battle occurs at the front, tanks will step forward to take charge of fire support.
"Tom tom tom...... Boom Boom ......Boom Boom "The German tanks quickly braked and launched a sudden artillery attack on the positions already occupied by the Soviets.
The violent explosion instantly engulfed the entire position, and the flying shrapnel tore the Soviet soldiers on the position into pieces of minced flesh and blood all over the ground.
"Boom! ......Several Soviet tanks were directly destroyed, and the German tanks, after the first round of firing, moved again and ran over the positions occupied by the Soviet troops.
Felix, who had retreated to the second line, laughed and ordered his troops to coordinate with the tanks and launch a counterattack. They don't know how many times they've done something like this.
The German soldiers rushed out of their positions with great skill and began to launch a counter-charge towards the positions with the pace of the tanks.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......At this time, the German artillery also began to block the fire. A large number of shells tore apart the connection between the Soviet troops and the positions.
The follow-up support units of the Soviet army were immediately blocked from artillery fire. The Germans, on the other hand, frantically launched a counterattack against the remnants of the Soviet troops on the position.
"Sudden ......" The machine guns on the German tanks kept roaring, and the Soviet soldiers on the position were directly hit or hit by stray bullets, and they screamed and flipped to the position.
The Germans, on the other hand, used an iron fist and began to assist the German armored forces in clearing the remaining Soviet soldiers and tanks on the positions.
By the time the battle had been fought, the Soviet army had lost the ability to resist. The remnants of the soldiers could only withstand the German artillery fire and withdraw to the rear......
"Failed again! These damn Germans! Damn!! Vatoriac slammed the telescope in his hand against the wall, roaring angrily. (To be continued.) )
